Spontaneous video anomaly - thoughts?

[Skarch]

Been playing 64 bit 24.2 with a few mods for a while now with no real issues, albeit the occasional crash.

The other day it crashed, I relaunched, and now all the planets appear similar to Kerbin below...

I have dozens of saves, and I get the same anomaly on all saves, even ones from months ago.

I did a clean install of 24.2 WITH a clean install of the same mods, got the same anomaly. However, a clean install with NO mods works fine. So it seems to be tied to either a corrupt save file (but all 50+ of them can't be corrupted), or a corrupt mod. But why would this anomaly all of a sudden appear, then will not go away with a fresh install of everything and using non-corrupt saves from months ago? (And fyi, removing EVE has no effect.)

I've made no recent changes to my system, video card, driver, etc.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped at the moment... Thanks!!!

Please read the "How to get help" thread, stickied at the top of this forum, and linked for your convenience. If we don't even know what mods you have, we can't begin to help you, and log files help enormously in figuring out what's throwing errors.

Looks like texture memory corruption.

Either your video card is overheating or you are running out of video memory.

Try turning off overclocking and/or cutting down your mod count.

It might also be related to a win64 bug corrupting texture memory. In that case, try Win32 binaries, or use Linux.

Are you using RealChute mod? If yes, then it's cause of the problem, you need to update mod or it'll keep corrupting saves.
